Log in & make sure your resume and profile are up-to-date: Go to myapps.uwstout.edu and log in using your UW-Stout username and password. Never written a resume before? See page 15 to get started. PRO TIP: Employers are more likely to look at your profile if it’s more complete and you’ve uploaded a resume. Aim for 80% or more of your profile to be complete! JOB SEARCH IN

On the home page, go to the side bar and select “Jobs” Step #1 Finding co-ops, internships, professional positions & more: Use the search bar and filters to find relevant job postings. Select “all filters” to be more specific. Step #2
